Ivermec dosage

[ErinsEdge]

1. It tastes foul and they hate it
2. Makes it easier to measure out a dose and give it to the dog when the amount is a little larger and finally
3. Because the miniscule single-dose amount of the livestock dewormer is hard to measure especially if you're over 46 (far sighted) and can't see the tiny little notches on the syringe.

Use a 1cc TB or insulin syringe. I think it's the propylene glycol they don't like so it would be the same thing it's diluted into. Mine just learn to open their mouthes.

Yes, I also use a diabetic syringe measured in .1cc increments. Much easier than a regular 1cc increment syringe.

A doctor friend just gives me a new one whenever the numbers wear off.

I don't dilute mine and I don't know if the propolene glycol is distasteful, but the looks on their faces leaves no doubt that the Ivomec is NOT tasty

My tallest horse (17 hands) hates it so he always gets wormed first because if he smells it on my hands he's a PITA, cranes his head so high I can't get it in his mouth and/or rears back and breaks lead ropes if I get the stepladder out. But the horses only get it 2x a year--and the dogs are easier to muscle around if they decide they'd rather not have it. And I do use the little teeny syringes and it's really hard to see the notches on them these days. Just wait, your day will come!

I have suck up some soda pop in the syringe, after I measured up ivemec. Cuts the bitterness.

I don't mix it either and I dose when I take them out of the trailer to put back in their kennels and its a mad dash to their runs to get some water after it goes down.

[Steve Hester]

I mix it with the propylene glycol, then I put it on their food once a month. You just have to watch them eat their food to make sure they get it all.

A diabetic or insulin syringe measures in units, for drawing up insulin. A TB syringe measures in tenths of a cc or 0.1cc.

Thank you for the clarification. I use the TB syringe.
